Magic Roadshow

Penn Jillette is not a guy who’s often at a loss for words.

The more verbose half of the Penn & Teller comedy/magic duo is an outspoken proponent of several issues, including libertarian politics, atheism, having a healthy dose of skepticism, and of course, magic tricks. 

So when he called me a scant three minutes late for our phone interview for the upcoming Penn & Teller performance at the Strand Theatre, he had plenty to say about it

“This ********** I was talking to before you wouldn’t let me off the phone!” said Jillette, after giving a deeply sincere apology for the delay. (I can’t remember ever having an interview with a celebrity that did happen exactly at the scheduled time – these things are often pretty hard to coordinate.)
